We tailor each journey to your interests, ensuring that your trip is as engaging and memorable as possible.

Skanderbeg Square

Start your Tirana quest in the heart of the city, at Skanderbeg Square. This emblematic space is surrounded by some of the most notable buildings in the city, including the National History Museum, the Opera House, and the Mosque of Et’hem Bey. The square itself is dedicated to the Albanian national hero, Gjergj Kastrioti Skanderbeg, whose statue stands proudly in the center.

The BUNK'ART Museums

Tirana's history is fascinatingly complex, and the BUNK'ART museums provide an immersive journey through time. They are housed in former nuclear bunkers, creating an atmosphere that's as authentic as it is haunting. These museums offer an unparalleled glimpse into the paranoia of the Cold War era and Albania's communist past.

Dajti Mountain

If you’re thirsting for a brush with nature, the Dajti Mountain National Park is your answer. Just a short ride from the city center, accessible by a cable car, the area serves as a refreshing retreat with panoramic views of Tirana and the opportunity to breathe in the crisp mountain air.

Tanners’ Bridge

For a look into Ottoman architecture and history, visit the resplendent Tanners’ Bridge. This stone footbridge dates back to the 18th century and was once part of the Saint George Boulevard used by merchants and traders. It's a charming remnant of the city's past that's easily accessed and photogenic to boot.

The Grand Park of Tirana

A bastion of tranquility, the Grand Park is the city’s lungs, featuring a large artificial lake and a variety of plant species. It's an ideal spot to enjoy a leisurely walk, partake in recreational activities, or simply relax while observing local life unfold.

Toptani Shopping Center

If shopping and modern comforts call your name, then don't miss the Toptani Shopping Center. Here, global brands mingle with local offerings, presenting an array of options for souvenirs, fashion, and dining.

Enver Hoxha’s Pyramid

An intriguing and somewhat controversial landmark is Enver Hoxha’s Pyramid. Though it originally served as a museum dedicated to the former dictator, it has since undergone various transformations but remains a fascinating object for debate and an icon of the city’s skyline. Its history is rich and contentious, worthy of further exploration on a Wikipedia page dedicated to the monument.

You can see, Tirana is a veritable collage of diverse attractions. Each corner holds a story, and every landmark offers insight into Albania's captivating heart. Allow Happytripz to be your guide through these enchanting streets, as our excursions are not simply tours, but cultural engagements that honor the spirit of Tirana.

The wine tasting excursion to a local vineyard just outside of Tirana was exceptional. Both the wines and the ambiance were top-notch, and our guide's knowledge of local viticulture made for an enlightening day. If you love wine, don't miss this tour!

The trip to the Ottoman-era Petrela Castle was enhanced by our guide's story-telling ability. It was a fascinating insight into local history, and the panoramic views from the castle were just incredible. Wandering through the ancient streets felt like stepping back in time.
